Stavropol region is among the best regions of Russia for children's recreation

The Stavropol Territory became one of the winners of the regional rating following the summer health campaign of 2026. The results were summed up at a meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Among the best regions with an integrated approach to children's recreation, including safety and accessibility, were Stavropol, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, St. Petersburg, Altai and Krasnodar Krai, Chelyabinsk and Ryazan regions, as well as Bashkortostan.

Last summer, 650 organizations of children’s recreation and rehabilitation worked in the region: 20 country camps, 619 camps with day stay, 6 camps on the basis of sanatorium-resort organizations and 5 tent camps.

The summer vacation covered 90 848 children – the figure of 2025 managed to keep. Among them, 3,029 children of SVO participants, children from large families and families in a difficult life situation were sent to children's centers of the Krasnodar Territory. 4,161 children with disabilities and a disabled child rested in camps of various types. Low-cost forms of leisure and employment covered more than 453 thousand people.

The modernization of country camps was carried out at the expense of municipal budgets: fencing, water purification and video surveillance systems were installed in Damhurts, and a food block was repaired in Dawn. In 2027-2028, at the expense of the federal and regional budget, it is planned to build 6 prefabricated residential buildings in the camps of Shpakovsky, Soviet and Budennovsk districts.

We have maintained the coverage level of almost 91 thousand children and at the same time intensified work with those who need rest especially – children of participants of the SVO, children with disabilities, children from large families. Ahead is a new stage: the construction of prefabricated buildings in three districts of the region, said Minister of Education of the Stavropol Territory Maria Smagina.
